Answer 1

Whom are you calling? (You are calling whom?)

Redundant direct object pronouns are used when the direct object (quien) precedes the verb. I would suggest lo (3rd person, singular). However, in Spain the leísmo (le) is often used and even in L.A. with the verb llamar you often see le used as a direct object.

Whichever you choose, te is not an option as the d.o.p. refers to the d.o. [whom.]

redundant object pronouns

The redundant pronoun is required when the actual direct or indirect object precedes the verb.

After reading other responses......perhaps not.

Answer 2

Could le be used in that situation, or does it just plain not make sense?

You cannot use a personal pronoun in this phrase because "A quién" in the question indicates an unknown recipient.

Answer 3

¿A quién ____ llamas?

A quién llamas is complete,and needs nothing else.

Answer 4

Could le be used in that situation, or does it just plain not make sense?

It actually does not make sensed, sometimes the worksheets are really weird, sorry about that.

Answer 5

Thanks for the responses! I have a worksheet that's asking me to pick between lo, te, and le. Could le be used in that situation, or does it just plain not make sense?

Le would be the only option,but it would sound a bit odd. - pacofinkler, May 10, 2011
